yes its me again

do cherry bombs work on diesels ?

and are they road legal ? as some people say they are and there not


cheers tom

correct me if i am wrong but have been told the cherry bombs are not road legal
i am not sure about the cherry bomb on a diesel

I run a mk2golf gti sileencer and then a cherry bomb back box on my sj and haven't had any problems. It'a not that loud running around town but as aoon as you open it up and when cruising at above 50 it's pretty loud.

Not sure what one would sound like a diesel, nothing to say you cant try it? But it might sound like a tractor

ive replaced both boxes with cherry bombs, sounds very nice imo, mr mot agreed and let it go. round my way theres a VW T4 deisel with a pair of of cherrys not quite tractor but sure know it when you hear it, its not the worse noise ive heard

If you have a turb, then a cheery bomb would sound... amazing!

well cheers guys for all the comments and to be honest it was never that loud with out a exhaust, we put a cherry bomb on it and it made it quieter (all straight through no middle boxes etc) so i then put a rage on it and its deeper tone but still not loud , so at the moment im running a cherry bomb and a rage


cheers tom

Can you post a pic, I'm about to redo my exhaust and want it a little quieter, I'm thinking keep the cherry bomb but add a better silencer in the middle as the vw ones a bit dead

Not exactly an early reply but my 413 passed the MOT with a cherry no probs. I'm just using the front silencer, junked the rear. It sounds amazing, especially on the over run!

haha my sj never managed to get through the mot with it on because i blew up my engine , but things have changed cherry bomb has gone and now using a micron back box

I know that cherry bomb exhaust does not run on diesel and they are not legal. Get another kind of exhaust system dude.
